SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 767,856, dated August16, 1904.

Application led March 2l, 1904.

To @ZZ 1071/071@ 'it muy concern:

tle as from a reservoir; but within the limits of the inventiona-reservoir other than the bottle in which the ink is sold can be used.The reservoir may be open; but a closed reservoir is more particularlyemployed. The cup holds the ink into which the pen is dipped.

In accordance with the invention the inkstand is composed of a reservoirand a communicating cup, connected with each other through the medium ofa neck or a substitute therefor, such as a hole or socket, on the reservoir, and is provided with a device in the nature of a valve, whichopens and closes the communication between reservoir and cup, accordingto the position thereof, without re quiring the cup and reservoir to bedisconnected for the purpose. Most advantageously the reservoir has inits neck a vent (in other words, an aireinlet opening) distinct from thedischarge-opening, through which it supplies the cup, and this vent isopened and closed at the saine time as said discharge-opening. Byopening the valve the ink will run from the reservoir into the cup itthe reservoir and cup are placed in proper relative positions, and whena proper supply has been received in the cup the closing of the valveretains ink in the reservoir. By using a bottle or other forni of closedreservoir no evaporation can then take place from the ink in thereservoir. Moreover, the cup and reservoir can be so arranged that theink can be returned to the reservoir by inverting the reservoir and cupand adjusting the valve to open the communication between them. Thevalve might be formed in various ways within the limits oil theinvention, since I believe I am the iirst to devise an inkstand ingeneral oi' the preceding description with or without a vent Serial No.199,218. (No model.)

distinct from the discharge-opening; but it is an advantage and furtherimprovement to have the valve united to the cup and movable therewithrelatively to said reservoir, so that to adjust the valve the cup isturned or otherwise appropriately shifted. The cup then takes the placeof a wheel or handle for manipulating the valve. By having the twounited the construction is simplified, and by utilizing the cup as themanipulating device for the valve the liability of soiling ones tingersin shifting the valve is lessened. So far as I am aware it is new,broadly, to combine a reservoir with a communicating cup and a valveunited to said cup and movable therewith relatively to said reservoirfor opening and closing communication between the reservoir and cup, andsuch combination is therefore included in the invention withoutreference to the manner of connecting the reservoir and cup, although anadditional claim is made tothe same when the cup and reservoir areconnected by a neck or its substitute on the reservoir.

For securing the cup to the reservoir a plug-and-socket connection isadvantageously employed, the rotation or other movement of one part ofsuch connection relatively to the other being utilized to shift thevalve for opening and closing the communication be'- tween 'thereservoir and cup, andit is considered more advantageous that the socketpart of the connection should be in the form of a movable sleeve,screw-threaded or otherwise suitably formed, the plug part beingimmovable on the reservoir so far as the operation oi' the valve isconcerned. This more advantageous arrangement is secured in one form ofthe invention by having a sleeve which is united to both the valve andthe cup and is movable with both to fit over an outwardlyprojecting'neck on the reservoir, while-in another form said sleeve iits over theouter end -oi` a perforated stopper whose inner end constitutes a plugin the bore of such neck.`

So far as I am aware I am the first to combine either a cup or a cup anda valve with a reservoir by the aid oi' a sleeve, which is united tosuch cup or such valve, or with both, and is movable therewithrelatively to said reservoir, and such general combinations, all andsingular, are included in the invention as well as a cup or a cup andvalve ha\f'ing an attaching-sleeve united to and movable with the cup orvalve, or with both.

The cup may be made in various forms; but it is an advantage and specialimprovement to make it annular. A

Further improvements consist (c) in providing the cup with a lid pendentin the mouth of the cup, which lid can readily be pushed aside to insertthe pen, and (7)) in providing' a division-plate inside they cup on theback wall `of the same to confine the ink when (the cup 'as to serve asa filling as well as a discharge opening, or an additionalfilling-opening can be provided.

, A bottle or reservoir provided with a neck and also with anintegrally-formed closure perforated with a discharge-opening and a ventis believed to be broadly new and is so claimed.

Abottle or reservoir provided with a neck or its substitute and anadditional filling-open- .ing formed in a second neck or otherwiseconstituted forms part of the invention where said neck or itssubstitute is provided with a closure (integrally formed or otherwiseconstituted) perforated with a discharge-opening and a vent.

The invention also comprises the additional parts, improvements, andcombinations hereinafter :set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification,different forms of inkstand are illustrated, each of which is inaccordance with the invention or parts thereof. Modifications,additions, and omissions can be made so long as the substance of any oneor more of the hereinafterwritten claims is taken.

Figure l is a 'front view,\ and Fig'. 2 avertical longitudinal section,of an inkstand with double-necked reservoir. Fig. 3 is a partial View,in vertical longitudinal section.of an inkstand whose reservoir has asingle screwthreaded neck; and Figs. 4:, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, l0, and

ll are views in vertical longitudinal section of other forms, Fig. 10being a complete view in such section and the other 4iigures partialviews. i

In Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9 the valve is shown in position to close thecommunication between the reservoir and cup, while in Figs. 6, 7, 8, and1l it is shown in the opon position.` lIn Fig. l() a self-feedingarrangement is illustrated with the valve closed.

In practice ink is commonly sold either in bottles with plain neckclosed by a solid cork or else in bottles with externally-threaded neckclosed by a screw-cap or else, thirdly, in bottles with plain neckclosed by a perforated stopper provided with an externallyscrew-threadedportion and a screw-cap over the end. The cup of the present inventioncan be adapted to any of these forms, the cap or cork being removed, orit can be adapted to other forms of bottle.

Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, the reservoir a p is provided with two necksI) and c. The neck is screw-threaded externally and would be closed by ascrew-cap if the reservoir a should be used as a shipping vessel. Vhenthe ink is to be used, the cap would be taken off. rlhe neck c is aplain neck and surrounds a iilling-opening which is closed with thesolid cork (Z when the reservoir has been filled. For refilling the corkCZ can be withdrawn and replaced. The ink` is discharged through theneck I).

The cup e isconnected with the reservoir through the neck andcommunicates with Asaid reservoir through a discharge-opening in saidneck. As shown, there is a plug-andsocket connection between the cup andreservoir, the sleeve f, which is united to cup, forming the socket partof the connection, while the neck b forms the plug part. The

IOO

two engage by their screv-threads. The

sleeve f thus forms a rotatory attaching device. To prevent ink fromleaking out between the sleeve and neck, a packing-ring f say of softrubber or other suitable materialmay be interposed between the end ofthe sleeve and the body of the reservoir at the base of the neck I).

The cup e is provided with a valve for opening and closing thecommunication between the reservoir and cup, which valve, as shown, ismovable with both the cup e and its rotatory attaching device f and isconstituted by the disk t. At the edges of the disk there are holes j,best in the form of slits, and when the cup e, with its sleeve f andvalve-disk L, is screwed out these holes are brought beyond the end ofthe neck so that ink can flow out of one hole j' while air enters by theother.

Behind the valve-disk is a packing-disk 1, whose periphery is held in agroove. When the cup, with its sleeve and valve-disk, are screwed in,the packingdisk c is pressed against the mouth of the neck completelyclosing the same.

As shown, there is in the mouth of the neck an integrally-formed closurel, perforated with a vent (or air-inlet) m Vand a dischargeopening fn..

At j) is a low partition or division-plate.

IIO

each of two reasons: First, it furnishes a peripherical rim for turningthe sleeve f in screwing the same onto and off of the neck as well as inturning it to open and close the valve, and, second, it furnishes areceptacle for the ink in almost all positions of the reservoir and cup.

As shown, the neck b is eccentrically placed; but it is not necessarythat it should be so arranged. In Figs. 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11aconcentrieally-placed neck is shown.

The reservoir a might be of any shape, but is shown as square incross-section. Vhen placed on one of its sides, it is not liable toroll. It does not need a stand to-restrain it. With an annular cup thereservoir (whether square or cylindrical) could rest on any one of itssides, (the plate r being properly hung or dispensed with.) If made torest on what is, as shown, the top of the reservoir, the opening 1nwould become the discharge-opening and the opening n the vent.

If the ink is Ashipped in the reservoir a, one would remove the cap fromthe neck I) and screw the sleeve f over said neck, the reservoir beingheld in an upright position., Then placing the reservoir on its side, asshown in Figs. l and 2, and adjusting the disk /L so as to bring theholes j beyond the end of the neck, ink will flow out of the reservoirinto the cup. When the desired quantity of ink has been received in thecup e, this latter, with its sleeve f, is so turned that the disk /ipresses the packing against the end of the neck and arrests the outflow.The pen is dipped into cup e through the opening in theY front of thecup, the pendent plate r (if used) being pushed aside.

When the ink in the cup needs replenishing, the valve is moved toreestablish the communication between the reservoir and cup, and, ifnecessary, the reservoir is tilted to make the ink flow into the neckInstead of laying the reservoir on its side it could be placed on endafter supplying the cup e with ink and closing the valve /t y'.

To return the ink to the bottle or reservoirc, the latter is turnedupright before opening the valve. The cup and sleeve should be turnedsufficiently to bring the lowermost edges of the holes j beyond the endof the neck sothat all the ink will flow out of the cup e. During theoperation of returning the ink the plate p would aid in confining thesame to the space about the opening ai., so that air from the bottle orreservoir a might freely escape through the vent fm. When the ink hasbeen returned, rotation of the cup e closes the openings m a andprevents evaporation of the ink in the reservoir a. The ink could ofc'ourse be returned without the aid of the division-plate p, and, ifpreferred, such division-plate could be .dispensed with, as could alsothe pendent plate r and the closure Z; but the use of each and all ofthem is considered advantageous. In Fig. 9 an inkstand is shown Withoutdivision-plate, pendent plate, or closure in the reservoir-neck.

In Fig. 3 the pendent plate r is not shown; neither is there anyseparate filling-opening, such as furnished by neck c of Figs. l and 2.The discharge-opening a is made large, so as the better to serve forfilling purposes. The cup e is annular, but without the periphericalindentations of Figs. land 2. Its shape is also modified otherwise.Instead of having a` packing-ring between the end of the sleeve y andthe body of the reservoir, as shown at g in Fig. 2, there is apacking-ring fr set in a groove in the sleeve f and surrounding acylindrical portion of the neck` which it hugs closely, so as to preventthe passage of ink. In other respects the inkstand of Fig. 3 is the`same as that of Figs. 1 and 2, and its parts are similarly lettered.-In Fig. 4 the tapered end a of an ordinary cylindrical bottle is shown'The plain centrally-placed neck t is closed by the stopper o, perforatedby the discharge-opening a and vent m. rI`he outer portion w of thestopper is screw-threaded. The stopper is taken outl in order to fillthe bottle. Itis then replaced, and a cap is screwed onto the portion win order to close the passages m and '11. for shipment. To use thisbottle as the reservoir of an inkstand, the cap is removed from theportion iu of the stopper and the sleeve f of the cup e is screwed oninstead. The valve /t j is the same as in Figs. l, 2, and 3. Instead ofhaving a packing g between the end of the sleeve fand an opposingshoulder the cup of Fig. 4 has a packing-ring c in a groove in thesleevef, and this ring m slides over a cylindrical portion y, which ithugs closely. It will be understood that any form of packing can be usedin any form of inkstand to which it can be adapted.

In Fig. 5 the bottle or reservoir a has a single screw-threaded neckcentrally disposed. The division-plate 2J is not exhibited, and the cupe is diderently shaped; but the sleeve f, disk 71,' holes j, packing c,and packing g are as in Figs. l, 2, and 3. The neck b instead of havingan integrally-formed closure has a closure in the form of an insertedstopper .fa-say of soft rubberwith longitu?` dinal grooves 2 and 3 inits periphery, said grooves constituting the vent and thedischargefopenings respectively.

In Fig. 6 the cup c is no longer annular, and there is a hole 4 throughthe disk in place of one of the holes 7' at its periphery. Thepacking-diskItl is supposed to be cemented onto the surface of the diskL. In other respects the construction is the same as that of Fig. 5. InFig. 6 the valve is shown open, in which position the hole 4 registerswith the vent-groove 2 in the stopper In Fig. 7 the plug part 5 of theplug-andsocket connection is on the cup e (being formed integrallytherewith) and the socket part is formed by interiorly threading theneck 6. At the base of the neck Gis a closure 7, formed integral withthe reservoir and perforated by a vent 8 and a discharge-opening 9.

the vent 8 and discharge-opening 9, respectively. At 12 is apacking-disk cemented on the end of the plug. When'the plug 5 is screwedhome,the disk 12 is pressed over the openings 8 and 9 to close the same.

The cup e in Fig. 7 is not annular; but it has a pocket 13 and aperipherical rim formed partly by said pocket and partly by thecontinuation 14 of its walls.

In Fig. 8 the sleeve f of the cup e is screwed over the neck b on thereservoir a. This neck has a separately-formed closure consisting of astopper 15, (say of soft rubber,) perforated with passages 16 and 17,which serve as the vent and the discharge-opening, respectively. Theouter end of the stopper is shown as provided with a flange 18, whichoverlaps the end of the neck I) and iits closely against the innersurface of the sleeve f, (which is here cylindrical,) so as toconstitute a packing' to prevent ink from passing' between the sleeve fand neck The disk z. has holes 4 and 19, which are in line with the vent16 and discharge opening 17, respectively, when, as shown, the cup e andsleeve f are turned to open the communication between the reservoir aand cup e. Vhen the sleeve f is screwed home, the disk /t bears on theend of the stopper 15 and effectively closes the passages 16 and 17, theholes 4 and 19 being no longer in line therewith.

In Fig. 9 the inkstand shown is like that of Fig. 5 only the stopper 7is dispensed with, so that there is no distinction of vent anddischarge-opening, the bore of the neck being fully open. The disk /t inpressing the packing 7': against the end of the neck effectively closesits bore.

In Fig. 10 the reservoir t is double-necked, as in Figs. 1 and 2; butthe integrally-formed closure Z of the neck is perforated with anopening 20, which serves -both as dischargeopening and vent. The cup e,which is shown as annular, has only one hole, j. rlhe lower part of itsfront wall is above this hole, which is the sole means of allowing airto enter and ink to leave the reservoir. Ink,therefore, may

The plug j 5 is perforated with passages 10 and 11, which in the openposition of the valve register with lill the lower part of the cup tothe level of the hole y', whereupon the flow of ink is arrested untilthe level of the ink in the cup falls and allows air to enter thereservoir by said hole 7' and opening 20. The inkstand is thusself-feeding. In like manner any of the inkstands shown can be madeself-feeding.

It will be observed that inkstand of Fig. 10 would be identical withthat of Fig. S2 if one should close the opening a and corresponding holej', should dispense with the pendent plate fr, and should appropriatelymodify the shape of the cup e of Figs. 1 and 9. No modification of thecup would be essential, however, to a self-feeding inkstand, because. asshown in Fig. 2, the front wall of the cup e extends inward beyond theholes y', and if the reservoir of Fig. 2 should be placed in theposition of Fig'. 10 said front wall would extend above the hole j,which corresponds with opening m, and the ink-could not overflow,provided there was no way for the air to enter the reservoir exceptthrough said hole j.

In Fig. 10 the front wall of the cup e is extended not only above thehole j, but also above the opening 20. The ink in the cup e wouldconsequently seal the opening 20, even if the disks /z and f; should bedispensed with. Dispensing with such disks (without proper substitutes)would do away with the valve for closing and opening the communicationbetween the reservoir a and cup e; but while such valve is most usefuland an essential element in many of the hereinafter-written claims it isnot essential to all of them.

In Fig. 11 the sleeve 21 is lined with packing 22 and turns on thesmooth exterior of a neck 23, which is closed by a stopper 15 (say ofsoft rubber) perforated with passages 16 and 17 for the vent anddischarge-opening, respectively. The disk /i has therein two holes 4 and19,which are brought into line with the passages 16 and 17,respectively, when it is desired to open the communication between thereservoir ct and cup e, as shown. The disk /L may bear at all timesagainst the end of the stopper 15, which would best project beyond theneck Q3, as shown, the turning of the disk merely moving the holes 4 and19 out of line with the corresponding passages 16 and 17.

The expression in the hereinafter-written claims of features or devices(in the plural) is intended to include one or more such features ordevices, and the expression of a feature or device (in the singular) isintended to include one such feature or device at the least and notnecessarily to exclude the use of more than one, if appropriate.
